特朗普想把格林蘭買下來，格林蘭人很生氣

President Trump on Sunday confirmed that his administration has discussed buying Greenland from Denmark, comparing the idea to "a large real estate deal" and suggesting the island would be of strategic value to the United States.

特朗普總統週日證實他的政府討論了從丹麥買下格林蘭的事宜，他把這一想法比作“大型房地產交易”，並表明這個島對美國有戰略價值。

Speaking to reporters, the president confirmed reports that first appeared on Thursday in The Wall Street Journal that he had asked administration officials to look into the possibility of purchasing the self-governing Danish territory.

特朗普在面對記者時證實了最初於週四發表在《華爾街日報》上的報道，報道中說他讓政府官員研究購買這一丹麥自治領土的可能性。

"It's just something we've talked about," he said. "Denmark essentially owns it. We're very good allies with Denmark. We've protected Denmark like we protect large portions of the world, so the concept came up."

他說：“這只是我們討論過的事，它基本上歸丹麥所有，我們和丹麥是很好的盟友，我們保護丹麥就像保護世界大部分地區一樣，所以有了這個想法。”

"Strategically, it's interesting. And, we'd be interested. We'll talk to them a little bit," the president said. He added, "It's not No. 1 on the burner, I can tell you that."

特朗普總統說：“從戰略上來說這個地方很有趣，我們很感興趣，我們會和他們談談”。他補充道：“我可以告訴你，這並不是最重要的。”

But the idea has gotten a chilly reception both in Greenland and in the Danish capital, Copenhagen.

但這個想法在格林蘭和丹麥首都哥本哈根均遭到冷遇。

Denmark's prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, who was on a visit to Greenland on Sunday, responded to Trump's remarks by saying emphatically that "Greenland is not for sale."

丹麥首相梅特⋅弗雷澤裏克森週日到達格林蘭，對特朗普的言論做出迴應時強調說“格林蘭不賣”。

"Greenland is not Danish. Greenland belongs to Greenland," Frederiksen said, according to the Newspaper Sermitsiaq.

據《Sermitsiaq》報紙報道，弗雷澤裏克森說：“格林蘭不是丹麥的，格林蘭屬於格林蘭”。

"I strongly hope that this is not meant seriously," she said.

她說：“我真心希望這不是認真的”。

Earlier Sunday, White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow told Fox News that the president had discussed the subject with his advisers.

週日早些時候，白宮經濟顧問Larry Kudlow對《福克斯新聞》說總統已經和顧問討論了這一問題。

"I don't want to predict an outcome, I'm just saying the president — who knows a thing or two about buying real estate — wants to take a look at a Greenland purchase."

“我不想預測結果，我只是說總統想要看看格林蘭的購買事宜，他對購買房地產略知一二。”
